Iam extremely astonished at your silence at such a
time when, according to information, albeit not fully
confirmed, the break-through in the Millerovo direction has
reached the dimensions of an almost irreparable
catastrophe.[1]What measures have been taken to prevent the enemy
joining forces with the insurgents?

[1]Towardsthe end of May the front of the Soviet troops at
Millerovo was broken through, which resulted in the withdrawal ofunits of the Southern Front and allowed Denikin’s forces to unite
with Cossack insurgents in villages of the Upper Don.
